5DPT Day 3

Here we are day 3, go us.  How are all of you doing?  I'm posting early because I'm home today and I wanted to report my 5 pound weight loss.  Yep you heard that right I'm down 5 pounds.  Yes I know it is mostly water weight but I don't care because it feels good.  Yeah baby!!!Let me know about you.  Also,  Becky said she might do another day of liquids and I think I'll do the same.  I think the first days are probably the hardest so since I'm on a roll I gonna keep going.  Keep up the good work. Jane

Hi Jane! Day 1 & 2 were a breeze! So much easier than I thought! Today I has some scrambled eggs and salsa.. yummy! :-) I brought white fish fillets for lunch.. likely with more salsa. and I am pumping the water down! Congratulations to you for your weight loss! I myself dont expect to lose much on this.. it's just a way to kick off my summer diet. I am still at doctors goal but I really want to make it to my personal goal which is a loooog 20 lbs away!

that sounds so good.  I went to the store and bought all these vegetables I'm going to cut up for soup.   I need to follow your good example and drink more water.  I have 11 pounds to lose to get back to my lowest weight .  It would be nice to see the 130's again. Glad you're here Rita. Jane

Yup, I'm doing the 3rd day of liquids!! Getting ready to have some split pea soup with feta in it.  I can't believe how easy this has been so far!!  I'm staying off the scale till the end though. I'm usually a scale ho weighing every day, but for this I'm laying off!  Hope everyone else is doing great!  Thanks for sharing your yummy food with us Rita!!! lol  you have me beat all the way through with yummy food!!! biggest hugs, Becky

Becky, I'm glads you're doing well and feeling good. Jane

Well, I think the carb/sugar withdrawals are finally hitting me today! I'm really weak and tired and shaky! I've eaten more often today which I know is one of my downfalls anyway and this just made it more evident!! Today will definitely be my last day of liquids and infact I'm going to have some Fage yogurt for dinner tonight (it seems like that would be considered a liquid if pudding is, but I definitely need something more substantial).  How are you doing??      big hugs, Becky

I have eaten yogurt,  I feel it is the same as pudding.  I've been drinking the protein drinks so I don't feel bad but I am craving everything. I don't know what tomorrow hold for me. I may keep going on the protein drinks or I might add some cottage cheese and oatmeal.  I 'm definitely going to keep it soft. Jane

I am definitely moving on to soft proteins tomorrow, today was rough for me!!! But that is ok, I'm glad I did the 3rd day and got it out of me!!  If you continue tomorrow, good luck and good for you!!! I myself am so glad I finally did this and so glad you did it with me!!!      big hugs, Becky

Wow,  I'm really feeling lethargic today.  Even email seems like a big effort........time for those eggs, cottage cheese and oatmeal.   How strange is it that those foods sound so great. I hope you're doing well.  Jane

Hi all,  I'm here. Tonight was my youngest daughter's band concert. She is amazing. Okay, I'm partial.  I did well today. I had my tea and an egg with cheese both for breakfast and dinner and somewhere in there I had a protein shake. Banana I think. Yup that was it. I work at behavioral health and one of our counselors has a group on Wednesday and this week it was in my conference room, so I brought the treat. I bought pizza and they were so surprised. One of the kids said that he thought I would of brought something healthy. Too cute. It sounds like everyone did awesome today. Good for us!  Lauren
